How do I remove the watermarks on my designs?

In Canva, premium elements will appear with watermarks - a criss-cross pattern superimposed on top of images to protect the element's copyright holder.

To remove the watermarks, you need to purchase and download the design. Before downloading your design, you’ll be prompted to pay $USD 1 under the One Time Use License or $USD 10 under the Multi Use License for each premium element.

Your downloaded file will have the watermarks removed, though they'll still appear when you view your design in Canva.

Here’s how:

Click the download button

Once your design is complete and ready to download, click the Download button on the upper right-hand corner of the screen and choose your preferred file format.

Choose the type of license and pay for premium elements

Choose whether you want to pay $USD 1 under the One-time Use License to remove the watermark for 24 hours on a single design or $USD 10 under the Mult-use License to remove watermark and use in all your designs.

Otherwise, enter your credit card information to pay for the elements in your design and click the Make payment button.

Design will automatically download

Once successful, your downloaded design will no longer have watermarks.

If you need to make any changes, you can continue to edit and download your design without paying again for premium elements within 24 hours under the One Time Use license after your initial download.

Hi there,
